MADISON, Wisconsin: It has been two weeks since the last Executive Summary, and much has happened since then. What happened exactly? Oh, right. The election! In this edition, we'll bring an update of what transpired on November 6, 2012 from perspective of 22 state executive branches.

In the top ballot races, both parties could point to victories, such as the Attorney General race in Pennsylvania for Democrats and West Virginia for Republicans. However, down ballot, Republicans had the more successful evening, particularly by defeating two incumbent commissioners each in Arizona and Montana (two).

In general, most seats were retained by the party previously in control. A total of 16 seats had partisan change.

Switched from Republican to Democratic. Kathleen Kane defeated David Freed for Gov.Tom Corbett's former seat -- Kane is the first female, Democrat to be elected attorney general in the state's history.
